Bruns County; the home of Black Beard

By
Real Estate Agent with CENTURY 21 Anne Arnold

Brunswick County History is full of secrets that are never told. We are such a interesting county & blend in with much of history. Most people don't know some of our better known secrets such as how Blackbeard took over Bald Head Island & used it as his grounds for business. Black Beard is very well known around the world & hardly knows he was a Brunswick County transplant like many others.

Brunswick, established in 1745, was made a borough town in 1754, and when Brunswick County was established in 1764 it was made the county seat. In 1779 the county seat was
authorized to be moved to the plantation of John Bell near Lockwood's Folly Bridge. In 1784 Walkersburg, named in honor of John Walker on whose land it was situated, was established.

That is just the begining of all we can tell; below I have placed a link to share with you where put together are history & artifacts surrounding our area & where we have come form, please enjoy.
